  • Got the teeshirt

    Ugh…. some sort of cold nailed me Wednesday afternoon. Of course, just going outside significantly improved my cough. Kinda better now. Got my favorite movie of all time on DVD… WILLOW! So staying home sick had an upside. Also got the teeshirt… Somehow we all knew this to be true, right? Guess it has gone from former…

  • Movie List

    I’ve updated the movie list… 515 titles. Hyper-organized, maybe… summary, legend, top 30, display list, and everything else.

  • 2am Knock

    Got woken up at 2am to a knock. “Did you let Winnie in?” How in the hell did she come 3 miles across town… “No!?!” “Oh.” Left my room and asked, “Winnie or Abbey? I did let Abbey in” “I did ask Winnie, didn’t I?” Had a strange dream last night. I was a police…

  • Affliction Test

  • Quote Lists

    A couple of quote lists at topten.org… Living Well Full and Balanced Life Kewl site.  

  • Movies

    Found this Friday. Someone has too much time to do Monty Python and the Holy Grail in LEGOs. Impress all the same. Saw Harry Potter Saturday. Thought the movie was pretty good. I’ve read some of the reviews and think some people need to get off the idea that the written word is canon. Movies are a…

  • Med Night Cuilinary Guild

    Looking at Mediterranean dessert recipes for Med Night Cuilinary Guild. Some ideas: Date with bananas Baklava Baked apples with honey syrup (actually my mom made this once when I was a kid… I loved it) Will probably do the baked apples. Much easier than Baklava. The last thing I cooked was (and pizzas do not count)……
